Police, Camera, Action! is a popular TV series of real-

life police videos. It features video footage

from cameras in police cars, helicopters, and

sometimes from hand-held cameras, too. It focuses

on road crime and bad driving. Each episode has a

catchy title and the narrator really draws the viewer

into the action. A typical voice-over would go

something like this:

“As we join the scene from the air, the ‘eye-in-the-sky’

can see the suspect is driving his motorbike very fast

through the town. He’s driving on the pavement and

on the road. Luckily, there aren’t many

pedestrians around or else lots of people could be

injured. Now he’s going toward the traffic lights – no

wait – he’s doing a U-turn into oncoming traffic. That

is so dangerous! Look at him now! He’s going along

the bus lane and up the hill. Now where is he?

There he is! I don’t believe it! He’s going under the

bridge just as the police car is going over the bridge.

They just missed him. He’s going along the bike lane

toward the tunnel. Now he’s going into the tunnel.

The officers on the ground are speeding over the level

crossing to cut him off at the end of the tunnel. This is

so exciting! Yes! It’s all over. They got him!”

So next time you’re channel hopping, make sure you

catch an episode – you’ll be glad you did!

The Florida Everglades:

4 get caught in

5 get a snake bite

The Florida Everglades is one of the USA’s largest and most

beautiful national parks and a great place to go to escape

from the city. But every year, around 60 visitors get into

trouble in its 6,000 square kilometres of swamps! So what are

the dangers and what must you do to survive your trip there?

Mud bogs The Everglades are full of dangerous mud

bogs. They can swallow a car or a person in a few

minutes. If you fall into one, you shouldn’t panic! Moving

a lot only pulls you in deeper! Pull each leg out slowly,

then lie flat and crawl out carefully.

Bugs and bites There are hundreds of mosquitoes,scorpions, and poisonous spiders and snakes in theEverglade swamps. Their bites and stings can be verydangerous and sometimes fatal. Always look where youwalk, wear long trousers, strong boots and lots of insectrepellent.

Flash floods It can rain a lot in the Everglades and flashfloods are a real danger. A flash flood is a wall of waterthat can travel at 96 kmph. Is the ground shaking? Canyou hear a strange noise like an airplane engine? Climbup a cliff or a tree. You have to get to the highest placeyou can and quickly!

Alligators More than a million alligators live in the

swamps and they hide without moving. So how can you

see where they are? Well, bubbles on the water can be an

alligator getting ready for lunch! These reptiles can run

up to 48 kmph. They can’t turn quickly, though, so if you

see an alligator, you must run away as fast as you can.

Dear Jasmine,

I‘m glad to hear that you like your new home. It sounds much better than

your old flat. As for me, I live in a townhouse in the city. Our house is

larger than most townhouses; in fact we have three storeys. From our

house you can see skyscrapers so the view is not as beautiful as it is from

your house. I’m also pretty sure that it is noisier than where you live. We

are very lucky though, because my parents also own a small cottage near

the sea where we go on holiday. I think it would be a great idea for you

We use the comparative form to compare two people,

things, places, etc. We use the superlative form to

compare more than two people, things, places, etc. from

the same group.

Note: We use as … as to show that two things are the

same. Preston isn’t as big as Manchester.

Hi Jenny,

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having problems with

your flatmates. I think I can help you!

The best thing you can do is to talk about this with

your flatmates. This way, you can explain how you feel and

make them realise that you can’t do all the housework

yourself, as this is their house, too. Maybe they don’t know

that you’re upset. I think you should make a list of all the

chores and together decide how to share them. Then,

everyone has responsibilities and they know what to do.

I really hope my advice helps! Write back and tell

me what happens.

Rio de Janeiro is a fascinating city. In many cities around

the world, the rich and poor live in separate neighbourhoods. In Rio,

though, extremely wealthy people often live side by side with the

poor. Walk around Rio and you can see luxurious apartment

buildings, and expensive villas with beautiful gardens, directly

across the road from crumbling shacks.

About 10 million people live in Rio. Roughly 2 million live in

poor-quality housing. The worst areas in the city are slums known as

favelas. Rio has about 750 favelas. Many have no electricity or running

water. The streets are unpaved and there are no rubbish collections.

Life for the people who live in favelas is not easy. Accidents are

common because they are usually built on steep hillsides so when it

rains heavily there are mudslides. Disease is a problem because many

favelas have no sanitation. In addition, the crime rate is very high.

Still, this is only part of the picture! Despite the difficulties,

favelas are vibrant communities full of life. Most of the people who

live in favelas are not criminals: they are hard-working, honest

people, full of community pride. In fact, a lot of favela residents are

so proud of their community, they would not consider moving

elsewhere. The best way to understand a favela is by first-hand

experience. Never walk into one on your own though! To be safe,

you should only ever enter a favela on a professional tour with a

guide.

When you are in Rio, make sure you visit one of the favelas

along the steep hillsides of the city. The views are breathtaking. The

favela of Vidigal, in south Rio, has a panoramic view of Rio de

Janeiro’s beautiful beaches and forested mountains. In fact, this is

the unique thing about Rio – the wealthy people live on the flat,

whereas the poor people live on the hillsides! In most other cities

around the world, it is the rich who live in the areas with the best

views, but not in Rio!

The apartment is on the second floor of an old

building. It has got two bedrooms, a large living

room, a kitchen and a dining room. There is a large

bathroom and a small utilities room. It is in a small

village not far from a nearby forest. It is a peaceful

area with no noise. The streets are often empty as

there are not many shops. There is a beautiful park

opposite the building, which is a very relaxing

place to be.

sometimes go to a nearby gym or for a drink with colleagues. It’s a

great place for food and entertainment and while the public transport is
